Boasting an Old Strathmore address that’s among Moonee Valley’s most exclusive, this exceptional residence with its own pool and entertainer’s retreat is a joy for a family to move straight in and live quietly, privately, and luxuriously. Maximising the all-day sun streaming in from its open northern side, the abode sprawls over two levels and a deep parcel to be everything a large family could ever ask for.
Intricate hardwood floors see an inviting entrance reveal a vast front section, with a gas-log fire great for cosy nights, living and dining zones comfortably housing friends and family, and a marble-top kitchen able to cater for any occasion. Lifting entertaining capabilities beyond anything in its vicinity, two sets of bi-fold doors take a rumpus room with an oversized wet bar into a north-facing pool/spa and the home’s centrepiece in an expansive alfresco setting. Electric café blinds ensure usability in any weather, while social Sundays, pool parties, and major celebrations are well-served by bar heaters and ceiling fans, a wood heater, mains-plumbed barbecue with a wine fridge, and powder room.

Giving the option of living on a single level, a sun-splashed lower master is accompanied by a built-in study area, masses of full-height joinery, and a revamped bathroom with a standalone bath and Apaiser vanity. An open lounge is perfect for teenagers to claim, joined upstairs by four further, robe-lined bedrooms and a dual-basin bathroom with an opening skylight. Other highlights include mobile automation for pool controls, a pedestrian gate/video intercom, and driveway gate, plush carpets, solar energy, wired audio, ducted vacuum and heating/cooling, electric pool heating, gas spa heating, interior water temperature control, security, NBN, flourishing herbs and fruit trees, a large laundry, tandem carport, and a third secure car space.
